Wood is really shaken up.

 

He just can't throw a strike with the slider or the curveball. Can't believe Wedge can keep his job with the Indians on the verge of being 9 1/2 games off the pace...

 

Looks like they might have to trade Lee and DeRosa this summer.

 

Two outs...bases loaded, just struck out Teahen with one out and bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th.

 

The pesky David DeJesus at the plate. Wood survives.

 

KC 2 GB, Sox and MINN 5.5 GB, CLE 8.5

So Verlander has suddenly become 2001 Randy Johnson. His K/9 has to be something like 13 in his last 4 or 5 starts. This after never registering a K/9 over 8.17 in 2007 (not that that's bad) and average K rates in 2006 and last year. Performance enhancing drugs anyone? I don't think that's the case. But it just goes to show you the double standard there is. If a position player belts 10 HR's in 20 games he's automatically suspected of cheating.

outside of Gagne, barely any of the doinant relievers get questions.

Bigger fluke season: 2008 Gavin Floyd or 2007 Fausto Carmona?

 

speaking of carmona his line tonight was ugly: 1.1 IP, 3H, 5R, 5ER, 5W, 3K.

 

he threw 60 pitches and recorded four outs.

 

era at 6.42 now.

KC is really struggling. 4-12 in last 16 I believe.

It's all coincided with the loss of Soria, though obviously he's not the reason for this collapse. It's just a weird coincidence.

They are doing a promotion for a "sweep the Sox" weekend. Should be interesting to see how we play against a team that is sucking. It would be nice to get 2 of 3 versus the Angels first. Need one more to do that.

The Tigers take the rubber match 8-3 against the Royals and in so doing...

 

Rick Porcello became the first Major League pitcher since Dwight Gooden to win five consecutive starts at age 20 or younger, and he fell a run shy of doing it with five straight starts of one run or none for the first time since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981.
